Re: [Nexus] Inside 44
[Lots of Hope Hospital]
Cessie is too exhausted to really form any sort of reaction at the moment. After hours of pain, screaming, near panic, breathing exercises and stress it's finally over. Her breathing have finally slowed down, her hair a mess with sweat still running down her face. Harnel can feel the hand that so tightly gripped his a moment ago is ready to let go.
But suddenly her eyes flutters open as the half-dragon once again feels her hand squeezing his softly. The mage's lips part as she in a weak voice says, "Can I see them?" The result of nearly a year of discomfort and hours of labor just within her grasp.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 44
Lots of Hope Hospital
After confirming that the children are healthy, Cessie and/or Harnel can hold and love and cuddle them all they want. The doctors, and rocketfairies, stay out of the way unless there appears to be trouble.
However, they are keeping an eye on Cessie. They want to make sure that the scaly kids didn't cause any damage on the way out. Because... ow.
After a while, the pair (especially Cessie) will be asked if they are ready for visitors. If so, Sakura, and Adir will be shown in. Of course Laela can come with them.

Harnel will hold whichever of the babies Cessie isn't holding at the moment. If that means that he's not holding either of them, he'll just stay close to Cessie, absolutely beaming.If You need me to post somewhere, drop me a message, please

Re: [Nexus] Inside 44

According to Harnel their scales are soft and pliable until they are one year old or so so no damage should be inflicted to Cessie. So no complications there either.
As the doctors show her the babies her expression don't change much but she still smiles faintly. It was not exactly what she had expected but she couldn't exaclty be disappointed.
"They're beautiful." She says in a soft voice as she let's go of Harnel's hand to attempt to hold the screaming infants.
Right now their greatest concern is to get something to eat, Harnel can probably hold one if he likes to but someone should deal with that at some point.

Uh oh!
Here comes the Wights!
The Air Wight steps on the dust and FWOOSH!
The creature flails and screeches and tumbles right over the edge of the fire escape to escape the fire! A dull thud a few moments later announces the creature's defeat.
That leaves just the creepy one with the black metallic claws left.
And it's rushing toward our hero! Look out!Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Re: [Nexus] Inside 44
[Hollow Hill]
Normally, this place is dark. Quiet, too. Now, though, it's lit brightly by floating crystal spheres, filled with odd-colored flames, which are darting amongst the patrons, and even the enchantments aren't enough to keep the sounds of revelry from permeating the main room (and most of the others, for that matter), as the crowd of fae - and some humans, as well as a few stranger things - dance and otherwise enjoy themselves in a space that would normally be filled with small clusters of chairs and tables, but has been cleared for the celebration.
The servers are taking part as well, dancing their way to whoever made the order that they have, and more often than not drawing them out onto the floor, or sitting down with them, once it's been delivered.
Over it all, music is playing, and someone - a scarred drowess, possibly one that a certain pixie will remember - sings.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 44
Adir lets her have the slobbery ear back, grinning all the while. He certainly doesn't want it. "A wolf then. Easy to take care of, and really loyal if you get it right. I used to tame things like that, so..." Hey, those old ranger
class levelsabilities are finally gonna be put to good use!
At this point, they may or may not be allowed inside. Up to Cessie whether she feels like taking visitors.My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

"I can ask around. Or just find a wild one myself," Adir says, still grinning. Normally, that might put a baby at risk, but a fey child (especially a half-dryad) will probably be left alone by wolves.

"Yeah, I think that'll be all. We need the hill to be pretty close to Watchtower, so maybe we could look at some property..." Finding a proper mound can, of course, be handwaved. Perhaps it would be better to have the house somewhere interesting, however...Last edited by Murkus; 2012-05-02 at 09:45 PM.

Sakura smiles to see Adir so enthused about this. She leans against him and wiggles her fingers in front of Laela. The baby is having none of it, thugh. She's far too focused on gumming her toy.
((And we can probably wait on Harnel here.))
[Nexus Contractor's Union]
Sakura wants it to be within walking distance of places she wants to go. Which is quite a ways in her opinion, but still. Not everyone can drive in their fancy trucks.
"Sounds good to me. We can look around." Sakura says. Ideally it'll be near/in a wooded area. *nodnod*

"Then you two have fun, and try not to get offed offscreen or something." The foreman goes back to his drafting then, and tips his hat to the couple.
Sakura may have to give up on it being in a wooded area though, since roots would always be a big structural problem. Near one might be doable, for a given value of near.
((Alright, handwaving ahoy. I don't know if you two are planning on making a thread just for their home, or having an entry in the Home thread or otherwise, but if you'd like a description of the hill house like I did for Mithar Keep, and can't be bothered to do one between the two of you, I might be able to find the time to make one this weekend.
Otherwise, the NCU will work offscreen, and the hill house will be done in a few days IC.))Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

"Thanks for the scoop on 'er boyfriend, but, ah, can't help but notice you didn't answer my question. Didya see anyone shady lookin' hanging round here or shadowing this Helga dame, back when you sold her the watch?" Ray repeats, lighting up a cigarette before offering the watch-seller one.

Hah! That worked even better than Dwayne dared hope it would. And now there's only one more wight left between him andglorysurvival. He can do this. He can totally do this. He really hopes he can do this cause the alternative isn't very pleasant.
Drawing back his longsword, Dwayne times his strike as best he can, swinging right at the ghoul's mid-section just a moment before it gets close enough to claw at him, counting on the blade's extra reach to let him get the first -hopefully last- strike in and the stairwell's relatively low ceiling to keep the wight from simply leaping at him.
Of course, Dwayne being Dwayne, there's a fair chance his timing will be off and he'll end up attacking too late to prevent further clawings.Meese Mobster by smuchmuch.

"Thanks for everything," Adir says, giving a humble nod before turning to leave. Presumably he, Sakura, and Harnel head back toward Watchtower.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 44
Lewis Wyllt does indeed recognise the singer's voice, as the red-haired pixie dances among and above the crowd on Pixie wings.
Fluttering over a green crystal lamp, Lewis spots Lellienth through myriad colours of the dancing Fae's outfits. Pausing upside-down, the Pixie exclaims.
"I knew it! Twas the Illusionist from the competition!"
Waving, the Pixie tumbles on into the dance. Almost shouting a greeting before realising that it would disturb the song.Treasured Quotes

Swing at the Wight!
The Wight swings back, parrying the sword with its black claws and aiming a second swing to slash the poor boy something terrible!
Depending on how well made that magical sword is it might be able to stand a blow from the undead's Ebony claws. Though if it's of a lesser quality it may simply shatter the blade.
No.
Seriously.
Ebony is serious stuff. Basically pure elemental Metal. And there aren't very many substances that can stand up to it.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Lellienth nods in acknowledgment, smiling, though she finishes the song, and passes her harp to an elf with a pattern of silver and black lines tattooed on her face, before she goes looking for the Pixie, dancing into the crowd with inhuman grace, born of elven reflexes, Eilistraee's blessing, and long practice.
Meanwhile, as she looks for him, the elf to whom she gave her harp takes up the task of providing music.

Sallianne follows Irene and Sophie. So, can you tell what kind of soul it is? Do you know how many pieces you have left to find?

Re: [Nexus] Inside 44

Huh. Y'know, I coulda sworn ebony was, like, a tree or something, not some crazy element-infused death metal that can destroy magic items. But because in this case ebony appears to be just that, the wight's ebony claws will have no trouble shredding the magic sword like the poorly crafted piece of junk it is.
Worse yet, Dwayne's armor was crafted by the same cruddy enchanter, so the second clawswipe right through that as well and into the vulnerable flesh below. And unless this wight's claws have the same mercifully numbing effect as the last one, I can imagine that's gonna hurt like crazy.
Wounded and terrified by the sudden loss of his only weapon, Dwayne flees, clutching at the wound in a panicked attempt to slow the bleeding as he scrambles up towards the roof. It's not far, merely one last flight of stairs up, but Dwayne isn't moving quite so fast as he was a moment ago either.
Outside the Dusty Flagon
Of course. Everyone wants something. "What charming entrepreneurial spirit. Only ten seconds ago you were mourning a tragic loss and now you're trying to make a profit from it." Sighing, Ray gets his wallet and takes out a twenty, holding it just outta reach. "This enough to jog your memory?" If it ain't, he might just be tempted to see if a punch to the nose'll do the trick.Meese Mobster by smuchmuch.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 44
It is enough to loosen the mans tongue. "Well...actually...There was the strangest thing yesterday morning. It was about one in the morning. I was out here....with a special customer. Then this group of people, dressed in red and blue walked by. They looked like monks. Red cloaks and hoods, with dark blue robes. They met across the street by that lamppost. Just stood there...first there was one guy, but then more came. Then there was five. They just....watched the inn. Stared at it. They didn't ssee me though...Then one of them said something...the others left. Then...the strangest thing. He stood there...for two hours. Standing perfectly still. I eventually went home around 2:50...I waved goodbye to Helga...I got home around 3:10.

Weirdos in red and blue? Jeez. If this wasn't the Nexus he'd guess this joker was pulling his leg, but around here, well, crazy murder cults are a dime a dozen. "Thanks." The twenty is handed over, but Ray has a trick up his sleeve. On the underside of the bill, hidden in amongst the watermarks and intricate tracery used to designate legal tender, is what might at first glance appear to be nothing more than a shadow or particularly dark stain. Practically unnoticeable in the dark alleyway. "You sure it was 2:50 when you left, and Helga was still here?"Meese Mobster by smuchmuch.

The man doesn't notice the odd bill. Yup. I DO sell watches. Exactly 2:50. She was goint to see her boyfriend I think. ((Is the bill a tracking device?))
